About Melvaig - Planning Applications & Local Development

Melvaig is a picturesque crofting township located on the western coast of Ross-shire in the Scottish Highlands, within the Highland council area. The settlement features houses scattered across raised shorelines and historic crofts, which were divided in 1846, primarily used for sheep grazing today. The area's charm attracts buyers from outside the region, leading to a prevalence of holiday and second homes, making it a noteworthy location for planning applications and development considerations.

There are currently no active flood warnings for the Melvaig area, indicating a relatively low flood risk at present. This is a positive factor for both existing residents and those considering property purchases or new developments.

In terms of safety, there were no crimes reported in the immediate area during the most recent reporting period (May 2026). This makes Melvaig a particularly low-crime area, which is often reflected in its desirability and property values.
